The Classic 'Doctor Who' DVD Release Guide Quote:
Quote:
Here is a thread dedicated to the DVD releases from classic Doctor Who. What I am aiming to do, is give a detailed chronological record of the DVD/Blu-Ray release schedule, starting with the first one (in 1999) and continuing to the latest one to date What I am not going to do is give a synopsis of the story (other than what is written on the back of the DVD case), nor am I going to give each story a rating If all goes to plan, it should be finished in about 6 months, but we all know about the best laid plans, so please forgive me if it take longer So, without further ado... |
